They Will Carry Me

2025 collage, acrylic on canvas, 30x30”

It’s about something safe, something wild, something true.

This painting holds a place I imagine exists inside all of us—a secret, sacred spot surrounded by love, friendship, and the quiet power of being seen. The blue elements feel like a map, as if we’re looking down from above onto a place we’ve always known but can’t quite explain. A hidden refuge ringed with waterfalls and winding waterways.

I built it slowly, with layers of collage—my printed papers, decorative scraps, even pieces of napkins. All of it pieced together to form a kind of invitation. A world you could step into. One where, when you're too tired to go on, you know: they will carry me.
